HEHEHE Lixy... we had the same for many years... "garden of weedin'" is right.. we have cut back considerably as well...

We don't have a grape vine, but did put in a lot of raspberries, gooseberries, and currants, 2 apple trees, 2 plums (yet to produce), and a strawberry bed (which by the looks of it will be massivly producing berries this year)

I have longed to start an herb garden.. have lots of books........... which seem to be geared more for the southern climates.. not the north where we are at.. The only herb that I have been successful with is chives and parsley..... would love to achieve a list like yours Lilith...
